DeWalt impact ready accesories

10-25-2007, 09:56 PM

Hey all. I just took delivery of the 38 piece "impact ready" set from DeWalt. I bought it because I am tired of throwing bit after bit away when they shatter while screwing into cherry or oak drawer faces. I like the design of the double headed #2 phillips bits, and look forward to trying out the pivot holder too.

Anybody else tried these yet? I'll get a good chance to try em out on the job next week. I'll report more then.

The pivot driver is outstanding, I used it the other night to bolt my planer to the stand. It is very nice because when you tilt it to the maximum angle, it provides support unlike using a flex shaft. I've used it with great success with an impact as well as a regular driver. One thing though, someone at Dewalt had the bright idea of using a flimsy plastic band for the Dewalt logo instead of etching it into the metal housing as they did on the regular hex drive attachment. The dang thing instantly slides off when you apply any downward pressure and you have to push it back on. That is my only complaint. I'll eventually throw the plastic thing away but for now I leave it on because it looks prettier.
